    Thanks guys! Well I took a nap after my last post...3 hours ago, and just woke up! Sooooo, I was pretty tired! Cramps are gone and back and leg pain has gone back to it's usual low key ache (can't wait to see re physio!).

    Nope, no temp. I often check, because I'm paranoid about bladder infections and listeria etc etc, but it's shockingly average. For the last week or so I've been feeling much more tired again, I've had to nap in the afternoon again like the first tri!!

    PZ - welcome to 3rd tri! When you start to waddle cos there is a baby rammed between your legs, toiletry visits become hourly (if not already), nanna naps become the new black, and bub has a foot constantly footballing your ribs. I laugh, I get braxton hicks, I cough, braxton hicks, and I roll over in bed funny, yes, braxton hicks! The only consolation I can offer is that this is the long end of the stick, once this is over, you actually have your baby, rather than first tri, where you still have all this to look forward to.

    Good luck sweetie (but on a serious note, if the pains get more regular, you get a show or weird mucousy stuff "down there" like what you would cough up with a cold, or any leaking, then pay a quick visit to GP or MW - better safe than sorry, particularly at 27 weeks babes).
